It is always good to receive letters commenting on articles. The editorial committee wish to invite serious responses to articles which could be printed, at the Editor’s discretion. Such letters should be not more than 500 words in length. If you wish to write a fuller response, which presents another side to the case or develops it further, please write first to the Editor with your suggestion for a response article before going ahead with it.

The articles in this special symposium issue on the Christian view of the state may draw some response from readers in the non-Western world. Efforts to include contributions from non-Western authors in the end were not successful, which is much regretted. However, views on the issue from other parts of the world where the issue is often more pressing and costly, would be welcome.
